To provide information on industry operations to the general public, the Foundation's Citizen Partnership program has acquired four animation videos. They show various facets of oil and natural gas drilling and production. The first, an overview of drilling fundamentals, can be viewed on the screen above. Additional animations, as well as videos on other subjects, are available by clicking on the "Citizen Partnership / Multimedia" menu item. Foundation sends MOLU to Abilene
In partnership with the Offshore Energy Center (OEC), the
Foundation recently sponsored a week-long visit of OEC’s Mobile
Offshore Learning Unit (MOLU) to five schools in the Abilene, TX,
area. At least 500 students used the MOLU to gain
knowledge of geology and oil and gas operations. Students and teachers were very
enthusiastic (see sign above). Abilene was the first of six MOLU visits to Texas schools planned for 2010. For more info on the MOLU and
related teaching kits, click on "Education in the Classroom." |
